This paranormal holiday romance blends new mythologies to stir your Christmas spirit. After graduation from business school and escape from engagement, Jennifer DeVision wants peace on earth for the holidays. Joining friends at the Rose Chateau seems like the calm answer to a question she hasn’t asked. When the mysterious owner of the bed-and-breakfast begins to bring out more than the Christmas spirit in Jennifer, the forces that have been holding her in check get angry. Caleb Odan and his enabling staff of merrymakers might turn this vacation back into the magical time it’s supposed to be, if they can discover what they’ve invited into their midst before it threatens both Jennifer and Caleb’s existence.

Roger paced. Niles brushed a lint-roller down the arm of
Caleb’s modern tuxedo jacket as if there was anything on it. Lisa frowned. “I
don’t get it. You’ve had three bottles of your wine. Why isn’t the color coming
into your cheeks?”
“Nerves?” Niles suggested.
“Because it’s not the real deal,” Caleb muttered. “But I
can’t very well hop out of the limousine and drain some stray innocent on the
way to the theatre, can I? Pardon me, but sit here just a moment, Jenna, my
darling, I have to kill someone before we go in.”
Niles grimaced. “At least he has his sharp wit about him for
the evening.”
“It would help if Roger wasn’t singing ‘it’s a mistake’ in
his mind over and over and over…and what does ‘men at work’ have to do with
this situation? I don’t understand it.”
Roger threw his hands up in frustration. “I can’t help it.
It is a mistake. You’re going on a date? In public? With a guest? To sit in the
mayor’s private box at the theatre? This couldn’t be any more cliché unless one
of your past vampire friends shows up and starts ripping people apart on stage
like it’s French theatrics!”
Caleb sighed.
“Roger,” Lisa said. “Really?”
“Well, come on. Doesn’t anyone else feel it in their gut
that this is going to end up on the five o’clock news?”
“Relax,” Caleb droned. “The five o’clock news is over. Best
we can do now is ten o’clock or some sort of late-breaking story that
interrupts the regularly scheduled programming.”
Roger stared at Caleb a moment. “Did you just make a joke? A
modern-day—”
“All right, both of you, settle down,” Lisa said. “Roger,
stop antagonizing the vampire before he decides to bite you to get his color in
his cheeks. Caleb, stop tormenting the man who’s just looking out for your best
interests. Now, Dahling, you look mahvelous.”
